My first pedal.....

[Mentaltossflycoon]

My first pedal was a Digitech RP7, don't own it anymore.

My second pedal purchase was an RP6, not a useful sound in it. Even when I was 16.

My first pedal, from 1967. Yeah, no. Phones were on the wall and weighed 11 pounds.

My first pedal was an earlier (pre Adam Lambert endorsement) version of this. Pretty sure it’s a DS-1 clone, but I’ve never checked.

That looks pretty gnarly has almost like a Danelectro thing going on!

Not particularly. It was a late 90s reissue one. A dude I knew that worked at analogman added the LED and the bass boost switch

There's a lot of blokes named Dude, Bud, & You !!!

I have a couple of DS-1s but I can only find one of them. I really need to mod it.

The RP7 wasn't much better

For my First, I got 2!

For my Guitar it was a Boss CE-2 which is modded & still on my Pedal Board!

I started playing guitar when I was 10 because I wanted to play Bulls on Parade. So I believe I got this wah around that age as well. I've had it nearby ever since. 23 years and counting.

It's innards are in desperate need of a cleaning. Perhaps even...an upgrading???

 

[steviejr92]

She’s a beauty! I think you should open her up and try to mod her and keep us updated along the way!

Feel free to steal my settings. I swapped a $75 squire pbass for it when I was maybe 16 I think.

This bad boy, bought used 15 years ago after some years of crappy Zoom multieffects:
Still on my pedalboard, so many good sounds out of it

Second pedal was a... Bad Monkey bought it for 30€, sold it one week ago for 150

In the late 90’s, when I was a teen and learning, I was gifted a Cry-Baby, and an MXR Phase 100, both from the 70's. I still have them. My first purchased pedal was a Big Muff NYC.
The phase was always in front of me, for many years. It got bumped a few years ago when I started building.
Sometime around 2007, I got the Muff. And because that box is some seriously wasted real estate, I started modding it, about 8-9 years ago.
I bust out the Phase every now and then, for fun stuff, and to compare it to my other phasers. (Circulator/Phase II/BYOC Soaring Skillet). It’s missing two screws. And I’m not sure which knob is original, but for most of it’s life, it had different sized knobs.
The Muff gets it’s share of attention too. It contains a Buff’n Blend, a SHO boost, an order switch, a tone lift, socketed diodes, and mids tone knob. And I shaved it, obviously.
I don't recall which way the order switch goes. I just go by what I sounds right. Sometimes the Hard On goes into the Muff, and sometimes the Muff smothers the Hard On.

This was my first delay. Absolutely has some great options in it. The reverse delay on it somehow seems to just work intuitively with my playing and sit just right in the mix for some ambient filler.

It would need to be a real good offer for me to sell.

Boss DS-1, Xmas, 2001. I gave “Santa” two options: DS-1 or a Rat. The DS-1 was cheaper…
